Moving deeper into acceptance [Meditation for chronic illness folks #19]

In this 5 minute meditation we ask the heart what it’s truly feeling and give it what it needs for deeper acceptance (this meditation is without music)

My debut single, Salem, is out! You can listen to or buy the song here.

Hi friend!

Living with chronic illness or other difficult life circumstances means living with difficult emotions too. And as we live in the positive thinking era we may not allow ourselves to feel these difficult emotions. I’ve noticed that I have a tendency to shut down, not wanting to feel it all, but that also shuts down other emotions like joy and excitement. I’m a big proponent of feeling your feelings — I believe that when we can contain and sit with our own feelings, it’s easier to sit with other people’s feelings too and our empathy muscle expands. I also believe that when we feel our feelings, we move deeper into acceptance of the present moment, while still maintaining a sense of hope.

So in today’s meditation we will listen to our heart-space ask it what it truly feels today and what it needs from us.

Listen to or purchase my debut single, Salem

Salem is a song for all those out there who have been disbelieved, disrespected and mistreated for being sick.

Salem is a metaphor for how women’s bodies have been neglected by medical science, how patients — including men, transmen and transwomen as well as non-binary people — suffering from diseases disproportionately affecting women, such as ME/CFS, Long Covid, fibromyalgia, MCAS, EDS, POTS, migraines, endometriosis, etc. were dismissed for being hysterical when in reality our bodies had become ill, and how people have died without recognition of the true cause.
